More Confidence in Group Decisions

The Stop&Think method enables companies to capture expertise in order to consistently make profitable decisions.

Stop, think, act.


The increasing complexity of work is causing information breakdown and loss, resulting in decisions lacking accuracy and pace. (See Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster). Poor knowledge retention causes skills to be mis-directed and wasted on rework. Organizational expertise never fully emerges.

Stop&Think is an analytical methodology that solves problems permanently by using employee intelligence to fuse data directly into accurate, measurable and reusable sets of knowledge known as warfighter's infospheres. Implementation is inexpensive and easy since infospheres are designed to favor information already within the organization. The compact Stop&Think method is forms-driven and based on the natural structure of language; the tool is a directed semantic wiki built into a Microsoft Excel workbook.

Infospheres are merged into workflow using:


StopThink Enhanced
  • Reconfigured productivity and
        communication tools.
  • Collaborative software.
  • Knowledge sharing structures
        such as data models, metadata and
        web technologies.




  • Identify intellectual capital
    Flow Potential: the potential % amount that information velocity can be increased without generating turbulence.

  • Fewer errors.
  • Transfer knowledge.
  • Value information
    ST-Index: information usability valued as the probability of a task's success.

  • Determine the risk-adjusted return of a process.
  • Calculate the dollar value of I.T.

         (see Valuing Information white paper)
  • Reduce Risk
    Real Options: use the ST-Index to incorporate task risk into valuations.

  • Greater expertise creates higher margins.
        Equity is Expertise
  • Increase equity by preventing knowledge loss.

  • accelerated flow of information without exceptions/turbulence
